Browserbase enables agentic payments with Coinbase and x402

We’re excited to announce that Browserbase, in partnership with Coinbase, now enables frictionless agent-to-browser automation, with no API keys, no billing setup, and instant USDC settlement.

As LLMs become the primary way users and developers discover new services, platforms must be legible and usable by agents from the first interaction. Any LLM can now discover Browserbase through the x402 Bazaar, understand our pricing, and pay per browser session, all programmatically.

This allows agents to spin up a real browser, navigate live websites, interact with UI elements, submit forms, and extract data as part of an autonomous workflow, without human approval or credential management.

To receive payment for each session, Browserbase uses Coinbase Business as its settlement layer. This means that every x402 call instantly deposits USDC into our Coinbase account, providing:

• automatic yield on idle balances
• institutional-grade custody
• real-time visibility into usage and revenue
• no reconciliation work, no fraud risk, and no credit cards to manage

This setup allows Browserbase to focus on delivering great browser automation rather than managing a billing system.

With Browserbase and x402, agents can now use the web the way it actually exists, by navigating real pages, interacting with real interfaces, and paying for compute autonomously.

If you’re building agents, automation systems, or AI-native products that require real browser interaction, this unlocks a new class of workflows that were previously impossible without human setup.
